Imprisoned by the Gestapo, German-Jewish psychoanalyst Edith Jacobson (1897-1978) managed to escape Nazism and successfully continued her psychoanalytic career in American exile. This essay is the first of two on Jacobson's prison notebook, newly published under the title Gefängnisaufzeichnungen. It focuses on the interdisciplinary encounter of prison poetry with psychoanalysis, illustrating the unique therapeutic capacity of poetry to ease pain in states of utter deprivation, and placing specific emphasis on Jacobson’s complex biography and the discovery of her manuscript notebook
